Tom's Hardware Guide (http://www.tomshardware.com/) has put up an exclusive look on Intel's new Pentium III, with a nagging question: Tualatin or Coppermine-T? Here's an excerpt:
"Is it 'Tualatin' or 'Coppermine-T'? Does its heart beat according to a 0.13 or 0.18 micron process? Does it make any difference anyway? We don't know if our little fellow is a 'Tualatin' or a 'Coppermine-T', but we do know that our baby comes with only 256 kB of second level cache, which is just as much as its numerous brothers and sisters out there, that used to be the common members of the Pentium III family (Coppermine-tribe). It told us that some of its brothers and sister have 512 kB L2-cache, which might make them a bit stronger with certain software. Unfortunately, those siblings of our little toddler haven't found their way to our lab yet. It will only be a question of time..."[/i]
